we got

Ov.Petre
Ropotan
Margaritescu

that you may consider "pure Dms"

then theres

Codrea
C.Lazar
Cocis
Prepelita
Grigore
Sepsi

who are "fake" Dms aka deeplying playmakers etc.

Muresan
D.Stoica
Chivu
Radoi

players that naturally played other positions but also can play DM

what system do you prefer?

what combination might be the most suitable?

who should be the back ups of the regulars?

Actually I far prefer a classic 4-4-2 to any DM system... but Chivu and Radoi can certainly handle it in a 4-2-3-1 system...

Codrea and Ovidiu Petre should be the back-ups... Ov. Petre has played relatively well lately (after his red card, actually :pp)... Cocis isn't quite a DM, he's better at attacking, hence he should play there. Margaritescu is the most likely to get red-carded, especially in such games, I wouldn't take him. Ropotan is good, maybe as a reserve-status player in the squad (eg like the 3rd GK), though I doubt he'd have any room.

I think it´s time to stick to what Piturca will take to the Euro. Testing time is over and only 3-4 spots are open. The only players that still have a slight chance are the ones of the B team.

It´ll be Codrea, Petre, Chivu and Radoi, and considering Radoi and Chivu can also be backup defenders there might be reom for someone else, that will most likely be Margaritescu. Lazar is in need of a miracle and Ghioane needs a couple of persons to die in order to get a spot.

Ropotan isn't mature enough for the seniors... hell he's one of the most immature players I've ever encountered... his dives are dramatic, his dribbles extremely hectic and his defending's the same

he has incredible potential but the tactical awareness and experience of a 10 year old

I want Torje there still.. despite his performances.

He could be important in WC2010
